This week on Spill the Spice Podcast, we’re sitting down with indie romance author Lola B. Marie to talk about the stories behind A Soul Seen, Immortal for the Plot, and In My Boxes & Breakups Era.

From ghostly romance in haunted hotels to chaotic vampire banter and deeply personal second-chance journeys, Lola’s books blend heart, humor, and just enough spice to keep readers hooked.

In this episode we dive into her writing process, the real-life experiences that shape her characters, and how vulnerability on the page can lead to some of the most powerful moments in storytelling. We also talk about identity, the expectations placed on women in relationships and society, and what it means to reclaim your voice when the life you built no longer feels like your own.

We get into everything from character backstories and reader reactions to writing intimate scenes, mental health, creativity, and the messy, complicated ways love shows up in real life.
